(2B/j.C) 2A > 3C > 214A
Anywhere
Basic combo, fairly safe on block but can be punished with guard cancel roll.
2A > 2A > 63214B
Anywhere
While less damage, it will give a far better mixup. Can do followup for extra damage
cl.B > 3C > 214A

Corner
3C should hit them pretty low to the ground. This does almost 50% for half a bar, but with slightly worse oki than if you just do 3C 214C ender.
(2B) 2A > 2A (2A) > 624BD > 214K

Hit confirms from ranges that are normally too far for anything else, very good way to start getting the game rolling in your favor off of some jabs.

Super confirm from fairly far out, the cancel has to be done very fast

Basic super confirm, usually not worth using over the ex vapor cannon combos but has its place if you confirmed badly and already did vapor cannon.
2A > 3C > 214AC, 66 3C, 624BD

midscreen
Instant corner carry and decent damage. Not much more damage than the 3C 214C ender though, so consider whether the corner carry is important or not.

Tricky timing to get down, but gives good damage and a good knockdown unlike the 623K ender.

Very good damage, in the corner omit the microdash before 3C and just delay it slightly. If you are unsure about timing/spacing you can always cancel into beam super instead for slightly less damage.
3C > quick max > 214C > 236236A
2
Anti Air
Anti air combo off of 3C, probably your best way of getting decent damage off of it as an anti air option. Also possible off of 5A counterhit 3C.
Basic quick max into level 1 -> level 3, does tons of damage. You can do two hits of cl.C however it will not work on 2nd position Maxima, and it may have too much pushback.
